dirt have been smoothed down with Wally's help...and invention. That's 2 pallets tied together and dragged over the clumps of dirt by one of the garden tractors. After a few passes the ground is almost level again! You'd never know the boxes had been there! The main 
hazard is a buried boardwith a nail protruding.
Wally managed to pick one up with a back tire but so far the tire hasn't gone flat. Hopefully, the nail didn't go all the way thru the tract. Just have to wait until morning to see. What a difference it is with the boxes gone!
Oh,no...Jeff just picked up a board with a nail with our tractor and, yes, he got a flat tire...a front tire! He took the tire off the tractor and we took it to Tallman Tires behind KFC in Herkimer. They could change the inner tube but they didn't carry that size tube. We went to Tractor Supply and got the inner tube and took it back to Tallman's. Then we went to Walmart to do some shopping. When we came back to Tallman's the tire hadn't been changed yet so we decided to go and get lunch at Mona's in Mohawk. After lunch the tire still hadn't been changed. Jeff was getting upset...who could blame him? I took Zoey out of the car to give her a chance to move around and maybe pee, and when we got close to the door Jeff came out and asked what was wrong. I told him I was just exercising the puppy and Fanny didn't want to get out of the car. The manager saw us and came out and started talking to Jeff about beagles and before you knew it the tire was changed...and no charge. If it was only going to take 5-10 minutes why did they make us wait so long? Not charging us helped a little, but not much.
8/30/17: This morning Wally moved the burn barrel back next to his garage after empting it one last time in our driveway then Jeff raked the cold ash and shoveled it up and disposed of it. When we went to town this afternoon we bought a magnetic sweep at Tractor Supply and Jeff swept what was left of the ash pile once. He's planning to do it a couple more times.
Good thing we weren't parking there or driving over the ashes...or letting anyone else do that! How many flat tires do you think that pile of screws, nails and staples could have caused?
